Self Assessment Reflection

My goals for this paper was to really understand what the author was trying to get the reader to understand. I think I did pretty good job tying in all of my sources to support each other as well as using sources to differ. I feel like I still have problems summarizing the sources when I should be analyzing the author's points. I really liked using the in-class workshops because I got feedback from my peers and my inquiry group and I got time to work on my paper. When I am not in class, I spend a lot of time in my room catching up on assignments so I end up doing some assignments late at night the night before. I spent a lot of time on this paper and I feel like it is one of the best papers I wrote based on the information I included and the way the paper was structured. As I progress in my writing, I see myself getting out of the traditional structure of writing (introduction, body, conclusion). I am doing better at getting my argument across tot he reader without beating around the bush. I am starting to be concise and straight to the point.The inquiry groups are really helpful to me because I get to see different views and opinions of my paper. The diversity of students in my inquiry group allows me to get grammar, general/overall, and academic feedback.The hardest part of writing this paper was trying to find out how all of the sources I used connected to one another to answer the question I proposed. All of my sources answered a part of the question and I ended up changing my question a little just to accommodate the sources I was using.
